Chapter 140 Zhang Situ

"Kill a chicken to warn the monkey . " It was an easy phrase to say . But what was important was how to kill this chicken .

Before they could do anything, there were five other employees who handed in their resignation letters . They were the assistant manager of the marketing department, Li Zhenguan, the leader of the security department, Shao Wuyou, and another three executives of the marketing department .

In the evening when it was about time to leave, Xiao Bing was still sitting in Yezi's chair . He rubbed his chin and circled Li Zhenguan's name .

Yezi was standing behind Xiao Bing, giving him a massage . Upon seeing Li Zhenguan's name being circled, she asked, "Should we start with Li Zhenguan?"

"Yes . " Xiao Bing nodded his head . He took out his phone and called Lil Bei . Xiao Bing was recovering fast . He already could walk on his own with a cane, so he did not need Lil Bei and Dumbass by his side . . .

Actually, Xiao Bing was able to walk without the cane . But he wanted to recover faster, so he had to walk with it .

After he was put through, Xiao Bing said directly, "I want you to find out information about Li Zhenguan, the assistant manager of the marketing department of the Ye Group . I want to know his personal information, his family, and if he has a mistress outside . You have half an hour to do it . "

Lil Bei simply said "yes" then hung up .

Xiao Bing was content with Lil Bei . Though Lil Bei was just working for him temporarily, he was still being borrowed by Xiao Bing from Dragon Gate . As a member of Dragon Gate, Lil Bei could get anyone's information easily .

Xiao Bing then called the secretary . Li Huihong soon came into the office . She gasped for a second when she saw Xiao Bing sitting in the chair with Yezi behind him, but she did not say anything . She asked directly, "Mr . Xiao, are you looking for me?"

"Yes . " Xiao Bing smiled . "Since the leader of the security wants to go, then I'll let him go . What do you know about the security? Is there a person who is second in command? If there is, what kind of a person are they?"

"There is a vice-captain called Zhang Situ . We usually call him Situ because in ancient times there was a government position called Situ . But Shao Wuyou is truly a capable person . He was not only a confidant of the young master, but he's also the nephew of Shao Baisheng, a board member of the company . So he's always haughty . Zhang Situ just does his job silently beside Shao Wuyou . "

Curious, Xiao Bing questioned, "Who is Shao Baisheng?"

Yezi explained to him, "The board member who didn't come to the meeting this time . He doesn't hold many shares of the company, but few dare to offend him . His background has something to do with the gang in the city . He owns an underground casino, even the police dare not to seal it up . "

Xiao Bing grinned . "Now I have a better reason . He can no longer be a board member since he's involved in the gang . "

The secretary spoke in a low voice . "I don't think it'll that easy . His sworn brother was the vice-mayor of Jiang City . That's why he always has nothing to fear . "

Xiao Bing sneered and said, "I have my own way . Tell me something about this Zhang Situ . "

The secretary found Xiao Bing more and more mysterious . She replied with respect, "Zhang Situ is a quiet man who never wants to get close to anyone . And Shao Wuyou doesn't like him at all . But Zhang Situ is quite capable of doing the security . So, Shao Wuyou can't kick him out of the security department if he can't hold something against him . "

"That's interesting . " Xiao Bing grinned . "Tell Zhang Situ that I . . . erm . . . the little Missy wants to talk to him . "

The secretary nodded and walked out of the office with curiosity . Confused as well, Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Brother Bing, are you going to give him a promotion? He has a clear background and he seems to be a capable and prudent man . He is an alternate for the position . "

Xiao Bing put on a mysterious smile . "It's not that simple . "

Soon afterward, Zhang Situ arrived in the office . The secretary knocked on the door and led Zhang Situ in after she got permission .

Xiao Bing cast a glance at Li Huiyong and said, "You can leave, Ms . Li . "

"Okay," replied the secretary . Then she walked out and closed the door carefully .

Zhang Situ seemed to be a young man of 26 or 27, which was about the same as Xiao Bing's age . Though Zhang Situ seemed to be a decent man, Xiao Bing felt something unique in him with just a simple glimpse . He believed that there had to be something special about this man because he could keep this job even when his boss did not like him .

Zhang Situ was surprised when he saw Xiao Bing sitting in Yezi's chair . But soon, his face returned to normal . He nodded and smiled at Yezi, who was giving Xiao Bing a massage . "Morning, little Missy . "

Yezi gently nodded .

Staring at Zhang Situ, Xiao Bing spoke . "Perhaps you don't know me . I'm Xiao Bing, your little Missy's boyfriend . Old Ye told me to look after her before he died . During this crisis, I'll help Ms . Ye stabilize the situation . "

Xiao Bing stood up slowly and let Yezi sit in the chair . Xiao Bing fetched another one and sat beside Yezi . "Please introduce yourself," said Xiao Bing while looking at Zhang Situ .

Zhang Situ spoke with a stern face . "I'm Zhang Situ, male, 28 . I have been working in the security department since I was 23 . In the beginning, I was just a guard, and now I'm the vice-captain . "

"It's not easy to start from the bottom . How's your fighting skill?"

"I was a disciple in the Shaolin Temple . I learned from Zhijue, a monk honored by many . "

"Really?" Xiao Bing smiled . "Can you perform a Shaolin fist movement?"

Zhang Situ said "yes" and the room was big enough for him . His performance seemed to be formidable but also reserved . He did not even pant after he finished . "It's just a trick with nearly no use . "

Xiao Bing sized Zhang Situ up and suddenly a hint of light flashed in his eyes . "Why are you willing to be a mere a vice-captain? You are more than capable of being a captain . Is that Shao Wuyou better than you?"

Zhang Situ replied sternly, "Though he has studied kung fu, I can beat three men like him on my own . "

He was not boasting . Xiao Bing found that though this vice-captain did not acquire the essence of the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, his external kung fu was extremely skilled . He was almost at the peak of the Bone Refining Stage, which was just a step away from the Clear Strength Stage . His might already made him more than capable of being a captain of the guards . However, it was still very difficult for him to break through the thresholds .

Xiao Bing asked, "Then why didn't you try to overthrow Shao Wuyou?"

"Because he has someone high up in the company, and I don't want him to feel that I'm a threat . So I didn't dare to show them what I'm really capable of . The Ye Group's payment is rather high . The salary of a vice-captain is much higher than that of a bodyguard . I just want to work longer and make more money . "

Xiao Bing asked again, "Then why did you show it to us?"

"Because it's about damn time," said Zhang Situ . "Now little Missy runs the company and she has a conflict with the board members right after she sat on that chair . As a member of the company, I can only choose one side . If I choose the board members, I will still be a vice-captain if they succeed . If I choose the little Missy, I believe that she will treat me fairly since my boss has just sent her a threat . "

"You're sure that I'll win?" questioned Yezi .

Zhang Situ smiled . "I have to take that risk . You own the majority share of the company . If you lose, then the company probably will collapse . I'll get nothing if I stand on the board members' side . And I love this company . So I hope you can win . "

"Good . " Yezi sounded satisfied . "Now you are the captain of security . But you will be more than a captain in the days to come . "

Zhang Situ seemed to have expected that Yezi would say these words . There was not much delight on his face . He just said calmly, "Thank you . "

There was appreciation in Xiao Bing's eyes because he found this man capable, smart, and decent, which was something he had never expected . He slowly approached Zhang Situ with his cane . Then he looked into Zhang Situ's eyes and said, "Punch me . "

Upon hearing Xiao Bing, who needed a cane to walk, telling him to punch him, Zhang Situ gasped for a moment .

Xiao Bing said again, "Punch me hard!"

Zhang Situ no longer hesitated and suddenly punched Xiao Bing's shoulder . But Xiao Bing's shoulder only trembled a little . Zhang Situ felt like his fist had hit a ball of cotton . Shocked, Zhang Situ raised his head and looked at Xiao Bing, who was still smiling . "Mr . Xiao, you're in the . . . Concealing Strength Stage?"

Even if Xiao Bing were in the Clear Strength Stage, he had to take the hit with his body . But Xiao Bing resolved Zhang Situ's strike so easily and naturally . How could he not be in the Concealing Strength Stage?

Xiao Bing did not answer that question . "You're good, but still a long way from The Clear Strength Stage . It's not easy to break the threshold . Do you want to break it? I can help you with it if you do me a favor . "

Zhang Situ straightened his body and the eagerness in his eyes was quite conspicuous . No one who cultivated martial arts wanted to be blocked by a threshold forever . If he declared that he was a master of the Bone Refining Stage, numerous companies would compete fiercely to hire him as the captain of security . But his strength was still much less than that in the Clear Strength Stage .

Though he craved it, he was still careful upon hearing Xiao Bing's words . "May I know the details of the favor, Mr . Xiao? I will try my best to complete it . But if is beyond my ability . . . " said Zhang Situ with prudence .

Xiao Bing was quite satisfied with his prudence as well . "First, there needs to be an adjustment in the security department . I want everyone to obey the rules and you can fire anyone who misbehaves . I want it to be done before you're off work today . Is that a problem?"

It was not an easy task for normal people . But Zhang Situ accepted it without hesitation . "No problem . "

Xiao Bing nodded his head . It seemed that this Zhang Situ was truly a capable man . So he continued, "Tomorrow, I want you to do something for me with several skillful men of yours . . . "

Zhang Situ's heart thumped hard for a second when he heard what the thing was . He was surprised by Xiao Bing's cruelty . But since he was already on Yezi's side, he replied directly, "I will always be at Mr . Xiao's and little Missy's service from now on . Though it is a difficult task, I believe that I won't fail you!"

Mr . Xiao smiled . "Good . You can leave to do those things I told you . After you have done them all, I'll tell you how to step into the Clear Strength Stage . "

After Zhang Situ left, Ye Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Bing worriedly . "Brother Bing, are you sure that it's okay?"

"Of course it's okay . . . Someone has to be taught a lesson . "
